Nokia To Debut Windows Phone In Europe

The Finnish phone maker is expected to unveil one of its only Meego-powered phones Tuesday, as it puts all its future eggs in the Microsoft basket.

From InformationWeek:

Nokia's European VP Victor Saeijs said that the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands will be the first to see Nokia phones running Microsoft's Windows Phone platform.

The deal between Nokia and Microsoft was announced in February. It signaled the end of the Symbian platform, as well as cutting off the Meego partnership with Intel, which was launched in February 2010. Nokia had already begun working on phones with the Meego platform and is expected to announce a new device Tuesday. It will be one of the few Meego-based phones to bear the Nokia name as the Finnish manufacturer puts all of its eggs in the Microsoft basket.
